C# How to add an entry to LDAP with multiple object classes
- by Jarmo
I'm trying to create a new user record into OpenLDAP with object classes person and uidObject. The problem seems to be that with System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry I've found only a way to add a new entry with one object class, but not a way to add multiple object classes.
This C# code
DirectoryEntry nRoot = new DirectoryEntry(path);
nRoot.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.None;
nRoot.Username = username;
nRoot.Password = pwd;
try
{
DirectoryEntry newUser = nRoot.Children.Add("CN=" + "test", "person");
newUser.Properties["cn"].Add("test");
newUser.Properties["sn"].Add("test");
newUser.Properties["objectClass"].Add("uidObject"); // this doesnt't make a difference
newUser.Properties["uid"].Add("testlogin"); // this causes trouble
newUser.CommitChanges();
}
catch (COMException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ErrorCode + "\t" + ex.Message);
}
...results in error:
-2147016684 The requested operation did not satisfy one or more
constraints associated with the class of the object. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80072014)
